Online AQA A-level biology masterclasses - weekly revision and exam practice

Hello,

I'm running weekly online A-level biology masterclasses help you revise, recap and practice exam technique and questions on a different topic each week.

These are 55 minutes sessions focussing on exam questions from different topics every session. We look at how to answer the questions effectively, and tips and tricks for getting all the marks.

Year 12 (topics 1-4) on Tuesday evenings at 6:05PM

We're also offering one-to-one sessions throughout the summer.

Our tutoring is 5-star rated on Google thanks to feedback from past students.

Sessions are live from 6:05pm to 7pm (BST)
£35 per session.
